Dear James
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out! I have passed yor query to a Gort volunteer.
In the meantime:
Terence, Susan and their young son Thomas Joseph are mentioned on the 1901 Census:

In 1911 they are in Charlotte Street:

Familysearch.org list a Terence Brady born on 16th May 1871 to a father Thomas Brady and a mother Johanna Fitzgerald. Other children born to this couple are James, 1869 and Edward, 1874 - brothers of Terence, assuming this information is correct and the parents' names are accurate. There are a couple of Susan McGettigan entries on family search born in 1877 but it would be difficult to say which is the correct one.

Thanks for that
Is there any way of looking further forward.
I know that Terence took his Pention in 1921 from Ballymoney RIC Barracks
I was wondering if there is any way of finding out about his children - marrige dates children etc?
Dear James
You can use familysearch or ancestry.com to check for the details of the children too. As you know the parents' names it will be easier to check/research.
The following site is also very good and will give you pointers about further research and original sources on the RIC:

Jim Herlihy has also written a number of books about the RIC, if you google him you will find him easily.

James....sorry this is a tad off your topic, but I am curious as to whether you are related to the Irish Barbers - Nathaniel & Elizabeth (DOB 1785/87) and children including James (1817). I have been searching for their irish home for over 30 years now. They came to Canada about 1835 and settled near Owen Sound, Ontario. Thanks for listening
